Well of course all Osprey books are light books for beginners but I love their plates and their bibliographies are useful

Jaraghan Temir Kigender is a book in Qazaq written by Akhmetjanov Kaliolla Samatulu; it has some nice information on Turkic warriors, but the book is hard to acquire, plus it is not in English.

Dang, how did you find it?? I had a hard time finding it in Qazaqstan itself! It's pretty rare!

Haha yeah, because I'm the Qaghan of SHF ;D In fact, I borrowed it from Prof. Dr. Salim Koca from the Gazi University. One of his students studying there sent the book to him several years ago. Indeed it's also impossible to find it here in Turkey too. I'm one lucky guy

While I was in Ýstanbul, I had the chance to visit the famous book-sellers of the Ýstiklâl Street, the best-known street of Turkey. There I bought two books on military history regarding this thread (note: both are in Turkish):
- Türklerde Harp Sanatý - Taktik ve Strateji (M.Ö. 220 - M. S. 1453): "The Art of War Among the Turks - Tactics and Strategy (220 BC - 1453 AD)", written by Necati Ulunay Ucuzsatar, a military historian from the Turkish Armed Forces
- Okçuluk Hakkýnda Merak Ettiðiniz Her Þey: "Everything You Want to Know About Archery", written by Murat Özveri

I wonder if that one will be any good: "During the 13th century, Mongol armies under Genghis Khan and his successors established the largest contiguous land empire in history, stretching across Asia into eastern Europe. Contemporary descriptions of their conquests have led to the mistaken belief that the Mongols were an undisciplined horde of horsemen who swept over opponents by sheer force of numbers. The Mongol army actually used highly trained regiments that carried out well-considered manoeuvres. It was the quality, and versatility of the Mongol military that made them the greatest warriors of their time, not unchecked ferocity. In "The Mongol Art of War", Timothy May overturns myths and misunderstandings that distort our understanding of Mongol warfare, and demonstrates that the armies of Genghis Khan had more in common with modern ones than with the armies of ancient Rome and the medieval kingdoms they confronted. Describing the structure of the Mongol army from its inception to the demise of its Empire, the author examines the recruitment, weaponry, and training of the Mongol warrior and analyses the organization, tactics, and strategies of the army he was in."
